The Psychotic Reactions

The Clap (Original)

Not That Kind Demo

Lyrics:

Over here !  Over here!
It's the patron saint of punk
Watching you burn
Things moved in circles 
now there's no return

She wrote about the Dakota
Took a million little pills
Gave crowds a panty thrill
Sold out, left the till

She passed out on the toilet bowl
Like a Lupe Velez with a suicide soul
Never faded from a pretty picture
Defied the safety of scripture


These are our heroes
Problematic Psychopathic 
Demons ensue
They are watching us burn
Watching you

Valley Girl Feminist
Got the disease, the virus she bleeds
little miss tittle tattle
Shake the culture, curse the rattle

Mr and Mrs mid life crisis
holier than thou
their crowns have fallen down
in the name of adultery

Poet laureate of  a generation Barbara said
You only make money when you're dead
Burroughs was his bible and his only hope
but he couldn't survive the odds of dope

These are our heroes
Problematic Psychopathic
Demons ensue
They are watching us burn
Watching you


High priestess of rock and roll
Rhythmic calamity jane
She only gambles with the insane
She dances around the Ginsberg beat

Songwriting brothers
sharing lovers and parking lots
Destruction followed them
until they played the game
Now they are sirs of notorious fame

Jazz honey
doused in cocaine and money
Died of  a broken heart
the booze it cripples the good and poisons the art

These are our heroes
Problematic Psychopathic
Demons ensue
They are watching us burn
Watching you

Am I a hero waiting to burn 
powdering my nose with nothing to learn
Bury our sores until we can no more
Watching yourself burn
is the closest thing to god, god, god

Watching You Burn

Get On With It

The Psychotic Reactions are a 60s inspired garage trio hailing from the West Coast of Australia. The scruffy haired, Boorloo based group have been kicking around since 2016 and are renowned for their fuzzy vintage psych sounds and flawless ability to draw together sounds of nostalgic rhythm & blues, rock ‘n’ roll and jazz alongside intricate lyricism and meaningful storytelling. 
With a fiercely loyal fanbase and unique cross-genre sound, The Psychotic Reactions have very quickly become a well loved and highly praised band amongst all musical communities across WA.	

The band has supported musical legends Jebediah, The Murlocs, The Saints, The Stems, Abbe May and Hideous Sun Demon, along with festival slots at Out Of The Woods, Nannup Music Festival, RTRFM’s In The Pines and West Australian Music Festival, and have toured both regionally and to the east coast.

The Psychotic Reactions have dropped numerous EP’s and their debut full length album in 2020 received a nomination for WAM’s Song of the Year for their popular release ‘Phone’. 
With overflowing support from fans, industry and fellow musicians, The Psychotic Reactions continue to create and release garage-psych rock bangers with 2024 looking at multiple single releases and the drop of their second album.


“The real deal - rock enough for the pub, soothing enough to get under your skin, gritty enough to make you rub your eyes.” - Triple J Unearthed

“The Psychotic Reactions offer a generous window into a time when pen and paper ruled well before the glow of smartphone screens and SoundCloud snap releases.” -Xpress Mag

“Their music possesses a rare form of innocence; they’re young people having fun and making music for the sake of making music, no egos in sight.” - Happy Mag
